The photos don't quite depict the neon'ness of this pink, I just must ask you to trust. It's about the same tone of pink of typical neon pink - not to be confused with magenta or fuschia. It includes those odd little flat-backed gem thingees (they were on clearance at hobbylobby), plus neon pink seed beads, and neon pink glitter that shifts to a slightly orange reflection, which is probably what is throwing my camera off. The sterling silver caps are stamped with planets and stars, and the brass core (which isn't so obviously brass) holds it all in place and is a bit easier on the pocketbook than fine or sterling silver tube. Sling it onto a chain and go, use it for a rearview mirror or handbag charm or put it on your desk to look at when you need to escape for 30 seconds.
FOR HOLLOW/STUFFED BEADS: Do not submerge in liquid, pretty please. Fogging and discoloration can occur. The seals are relatively tight, but not waterproof. A silver polishing cloth should work for the metals I use (sterling, copper and brass).
About the beads:
These lampwork beads are made by Sarah Moran with soda-lime glass (also known as soft glass), and are kiln annealed for strength and long life. I do my best to provide an accurate representation in the photos. If you are interested in buying but have questions, please contact me.
